GO JAYS GO! Pretty freaking excited! They won 9 - 5 Over the Orioles today!

Playoffs all the way baby! And winning the 1st round of the playoffs!

Vlad didn't wait long to get going. You're rarely going to get an inside fastball by Vlad.

vlad wasting NO time

Vladdy is a bad man what a beautiful swing

Well, that's a heck of a first impression, Orelvis.

Martinez is getting major hype. Rightfully so. He has it.

I remember he hit a similar HR vs the Phillies during spring training last year, too. He’s got some major power for such a young guy.

MArtinez not going anywhere. CLE wants him, we aint giving him up else we would already have Ramirez.
Wonder if he will be future 2nd basemen we desperately need.

Pure liner, too. Along with bad luck, what impacted his numbers in A+ was a decline in the number of lasers he was hitting...he was getting under the ball a bit too much in Vancouver. With his batspeed, he doesn't need to hit them 100 feet in the air.

He's a fairly big dude, so most likely going to be a 3B at the major league level. Which is fine, as by the time he'll be ready for the bigs, Chapman will be a FA.

yeah, that orelvis bat speed is freakish

Damn, the announcer took that ball to the chest and didn't say a thing.

I feel better knowing I’m not the only one watching a meaningless spring training game.

This tie is driving me crazy!!
